Book Review: "Ready to Rumba" by Megan Walker and Janci Patterson

Why is it you always find someone irresistible the minute you swear off dating? The main character in Ready to Rumba wants to know the answer to that question!

Nicole, or Nix, is an amazing ballroom dancer and she’s trying to bring her dance studio to the next level. But while she’s an excellent dancer and choreographer, she’s not been successful at all in the romance department.

Every guy she dates turns out to be a nightmare—they say she texts too much, doesn’t want sex enough, is obsessed with childish things, etc. So she vows to stay away from dating and sex and concentrate on her dancers’ upcoming European tour. She even bets her sister that she can go without sex for four months.

And on the first day of the tour she winds up stuck in an elevator with Marcus, the hot dancer from the rival studio. He’s exceptionally talented but he’s never struck Nix as particularly outgoing—but that all changes while they’re trapped. Suddenly they’re both overwhelmed by their chemistry together, although they both know what trouble their getting together might cause for their studios.

Nix and Marcus decide to dance together in an exhibition, but keep their practices secret. And of course, they can’t keep their hands off each other. Convinced the relationship will eventually implode, Nix decides to throw all of her crazy quirks—and then some—at Marcus all at once. She’ll see how quickly he runs from her and she can avoid heartbreak.

But of course, relationships never quite go the way you expect them to. Not when dishonesty and manipulative partners are in play. Do Nix and Marcus have a shot at a real, genuine partnership—on and off the dance floor? This is a STEAMY, fun, emotional book that had me laughing out loud.

Thanks to Megan Walker for the complimentary copy of Ready to Rumba in exchange for an unbiased review. I really enjoyed this!
